In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week," Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway attempted to put the issue of Trump's tax returns to bed by declaring unequivocally that he will not release the documents. Stephanopoulos asked Conway about the White House's response to 100,000 people petitioning the White House for Trump to release his full tax returns "with all information needed to verify emoluments clause compliance." "The White House response is that he's not going to release his tax returns. We litigated this all through the election. People didn't care. They voted for him," said Conway. Conway...

After kicking off the New Year by warning that there were only three weeks remaining to stop President-elect Donald Trump from taking office, Rosie O’Donnell has proposed a tactic to do just that — by imposing martial law to delay Trump’s inauguration. The 54-year-old comedian took to Twitter Wednesday night to call for the suspension of regular presidential succession rules until such time as Trump could be “cleared” of all the “charges” against him. O’Donnell didn’t specify to which charges she was referring. In a follow-up tweet, O’Donnell said Trump had “cheated,” and that marital law could be used to...

Over recent years, you’ve no doubt noticed an unnerving trend among leftists. They tend to be snot gobbling sewer beasts. Not only in terms of spirit but physical appearance. As it turns out it’s not just your imagination, the facts agree with us on the matter. According to a recent study, numbers confirm that beauty is more often associated with conservatism. A happy coincidence…

There was an interesting ripple in the Obamacare story over the weekend, coming as most of the country was more tuned in to the closing out of the old year than any political stories. A federal judge in Texas issued an injunction which prevents certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act from taking effect. Buzzfeed brought the story to light on New Years Eve, describing how US District Court Judge Reed O’Connor halted enforcement of Section 1557 of the act, which “forbids discriminating on the basis of ‘gender identity’ and ‘termination of pregnancy.’” Explaining the lawsuit, O’Connor wrote, “Plaintiffs claim...

New York City will deploy sand-filled trucks and thousands of police officers as part of a plan to protect revelers at this year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square, mindful of two deadly truck attacks in Europe this year. As many as 2 million people are expected to gather on Saturday to welcome the new year, and authorities said on Thursday they were aware of no credible threat to the annual festivities at the famed Manhattan crossroads. Even so, officials have redoubled efforts to prevent attacks like those in Germany and France this year in which suspected Islamic militants...

Ms. Reno was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1995, while she was attorney general.

In the aftermath of the so-called Cocktober surprise unveiled this afternoon by the FBI when the bureau announced it was reopening a probe into Hillary Clinton's email server because "new evidence has come to light" after "materials" were found on equipment belonging to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, the question on everyone's lips - and certainly Hillary Clinton's and most democrats - is why did the FBI do this now, 11 days before the election, in a way that did not even coordinate with the White House? One opinion belongs to Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, who just days after his...
